【R1】______While both have a large element of chance, in the long run the winner is the man who plays with steady skill. In both games ultimate victory requires intimate knowledge of the rules, insight into the psychology of the other players, self-confidence, a considerable amount of self-discipline, and the ability to respond swiftly and effectively to opportunities provided by chance.
No one expects poker to be played on the ethical principles preached in churches. 【R2】______
The man who keeps an ace up his sleeve or who marks the cards is more than unethical; he is a crook, and can be punished as such — kicked out of the game or, in the Old West, shot.
In contrast to the cheat, the unethical poker player is one who, while abiding by the letter of the rules, finds ways to put the other players at an unfair disadvantage. Perhaps he bothers them with loud talk.【R3】______Ethical poker players frown on such tactics.
【R4】______The game calls for distrust of the other fellow. It ignores the claim of friendship. Cunning deception and concealment of one’s strength and intentions, not kindness and openheartedness, are vital in poker.【R5】______And no one should think any the worse of the game of business because its standards of right and wrong differ from the prevailing traditions of morality in our society. That most businessmen are not indifferent to ethics in their private lives, everyone will agree. My point is that in their office lives they cease to be private citizens; they become game players who must be guided by a somewhat different set of ethical standards.
The point was forcefully made to me by a Midwestern executive who has given a good deal of thought to the question: "So long as a businessman complies with the laws of the land and avoids telling harmful lies, he is ethical. If the law as written gives a man wide-open chance to make a killing, he would be a fool not to take advantage of it.【R6】______There is no obligation on him to stop and consider who is going to get hurt. If the law says he can do it, that’s all the justification he needs. There is nothing unethical about that. 【R7】______
I think it is fair to sum up the prevailing attitude of businessmen on ethics as follows:
We live in what is probably the most competitive of the world’s civilized societies. Our customs encourage a high degree of aggression in the individual’s striving for success. Business is our main area of competition, and it has been made into a game of strategy. The basic rules of the game have been set by the government, which attempts to detect and punish business frauds. But as long as a company does not break the rules of the game set by law, it has the legal right to shape its strategy without reference to anything but its profits. 【R8】______
A. No one thinks any the worse of poker on that account.
B. We can learn a good deal about the nature of business by comparing it with poker.
C. If he doesn’t, somebody else will.
D. Poker has its special ethics, and here I am not referring to rules against cheating.
E. It’s just plain business sense.
F. Or he tries to get them drunk.
G. Decisions in this area are, finally, decisions of strategy, not of ethics.
H. Poker’s own brand of ethics is different from the ethical ideals of civilized human relationships.

选项
答案
G
解析
本文最后一段主要归纳了商人对商业道德规范的态度:商业是竞争的主战场,是策略性很强的游戏。只要公司不去触犯法律规范,它就有合法的权力制定策略,谋取利润。G选项:“商业决策是策略性决策,不是伦理决策。”与该段意思密切,是对该段主题的解释说明。
